Did our replies came out as condescending? I'm sorry if it came out that way. I did not say anything in particular about HIV because I'm not informed enough about the current threatments, but as someone who has cancer patients in their family, I am aware of some of the realities of the lack of particular treatments and risks of those therapies.

Now that takes massive infrastructure and distribution method work... it's not the amount of food that's a problem, it's getting it to everyone.

Warning to all readers: placebos and vitamins do not cure cancer. If you have cancer, do not even consider using these in lieu of medical treatment.
You may, if you wish, take these in addition to other medication, but people fall for these lines and die unnecessarily because of it.

Will it kill you quicker or something? No one would be dumb to take some internet guy's advice of medical treatment, right?

You'd be surprised.
That said, that sort of advice isn't just coming from internet strangers. It often comes from quack doctors and websites and sources that, at first glance, appear to be legitimate. At best, they believe their own lies and are just wrong. At worst, they know they're peddling New Age placebos and they're exploiting peoples' gullibility. Often fatally so.

But at the very least, get the correct medical treatment ALONG with the vitamins, and such.Just to be safe, at least.
Well yes, that's the correct advice. It's not the course often taken, however. Because, among other tactics, one of the common narratives that is pushed by the "natural healing" products and companies is that traditional medicine is evil. They may point to government ties, the idea that it's a money-making scheme (even though they are as well), etc. Basically, it's not just "try my vitamins" but it's a thorough attack on the establishment that is calling their product quackery.
So, many people will forego traditional treatments and ONLY do the quack stuff. It's a very dangerous industry, and part of the reason to remain skeptical of anything that has not been independently tested and verified by a formal medical body.
